The first point of the match was scored by Colby senior Kendall Smith. After a forced turnover by Williams, the Mules took play quickly to the offensive. A free position attempt was called, and Smith took advantage of this opportunity to drive straight for the net, putting Colby on the scoreboard with the clock at 27:06.

Of the three consecutive Mule goals that followed this one, two were netted by senior Sasha Fritts. One was also assisted by Smith.

About halfway through the period, the Ephs succeeded in answering this scoring streak from their opponents.

The Ephs rapidly cleared the ball, and after maneuvering to avoid the opponents' defense sophomore Kara Wollmers sent the ball swiftly past the goalie, netting the first point for Williams in this game. Her score was followed within a minute by another from junior teammate Emma Tenbarge, who was assisted by first-year Claire Fitzpatrick.

The second half opened, like the first, with four consecutive goals by Colby. Of these, two were scored by Smith. They were interrupted by one Williams goal at 18:35 before going on to score a total of six more points. The goals were scored by six different players.
